40? I do 10x that and get a birthday card.
Is it one of those fancy ones that will play Happy Birthday when you open it? If not you may be being shorted on your reward.

Sorry but 40 just won't get you a ton of extras. @DonP is right you need to be over 120 to really start making noise.
It's hard to get over that in pure new business during AEP. I was over it this year and did not get more than a phone call. One way agents (myself included) can write 100 or even 150 plus is there is some internal replacing going on. Not to pad numbers but it just happens.
40 is a good start and while they may not make noise about it, be patient. These carriers will track it - and FMOs track it. Next year in July/August they may say, "You did 40 in '22. What do you think you'll do in '23? If "X" we can support that with $$ upfront."
This year I got a bunch up front then mid-way thru AEP got a call saying I hit a metric and another deposit was coming.
Keep pushing and write during "lock out" and keep building and the $ will be there.
Then, if not, then look for a new FMO. But wanting to jump ship because you "only" got a call (and you only wrote 40) doesn't look too good.
What do you mean non taxable.Yes the double " non taxable " deposit was nice "

@MatchINS don't get discouraged by some of the responses. Everyone started at 0 and some never got further than that. Your 40 sales means you are not starting at zero in January.
Your next task is to figure out how to generate sales between now and next October. There are plenty of ways to do that LEGALLY without knocking on doors or wearing a dumb shirt that says "Ask me about MEDICARE".
People are turning 65 every day. Others are retiring past 65. Some are forced to retire early due to disability. And some will qualify under at least 1 of the 5,000 SEP definitions.
Do you need a new FMO? Maybe, maybe not. Very few will hold your hand or give weekly attaboy's, but many will help you find ways to talk to new prospects year 'round.
Find your niche and work it like there is no tomorrow.
@DonP . . .
I came up shy of 500,000 referrals . . . so many I was forced to give them away to agents I respect . . . sorry you did not get your share . . .
I have no reason to brag about my book with $1,000,000 in renewals . . . my ego is not as fragile as yours.
Not negative, just know bullshit when I see it and your stinks all the way across the country
